German Shepherd Bites Child in Ahmedabad; Owner Booked, Dog Impounded

In a neighborhood in Ahmedabad, a German Shepherd dog bit a six-year-old boy while he was playing.

The boy was playing on the grounds of his housing society.

The same dog also reportedly bit another child.

The boy's father reported the incident to the police.

The police have filed a case against the dog's owner.

The city's animal control department has taken the dog away to a shelter.

This is not the first time a pet dog has attacked someone in Ahmedabad recently; another dog attack happened a few months ago.

The city is working on new rules for pet owners, but they are not ready yet.

Many pet dogs are registered in Ahmedabad, with Labradors being the most common, followed by German Shepherds.
